    Her rallies were massive and she was polling 10%+ ahead of Trump when she was seen as progressive.

    When she went full blue dog and parroted the same strategy Clinton failed with in 2016, the advantage evaporated and she started polling at or under Trump.

    Falsely attributing the failure to misogyny solves nothing.

      But if it isn’t the progressives then it must be men’s fault, black people’s fault, Muslim people’s fault while being the fault of racists, misogynists and Islamiaphobes.

        More importantly, they stopped talking about rally size when she went blue dog.

        The pictures I’ve seen of both sides’ October rallies looked about the same, very different from her earlier massive rallies.
